| Hi and welcome to my website! I'm Diane Hickman, but everyone calls me Di, and I'm a group fitness instructor and personal trainer. After sucessfully completing my Exercise to Music exam in 1996 I immediately began teaching classes throughout my local area in Derbyshire, England. I have 5 years experience teaching group exercise classes including class formats such as: hi-lo aerobics, step, aqua, circuits, fitness line dancing, 50+ and body conditioning. During this time I also taught Kids afterschool groups via the local City Council advocating health and fitness to Children in fun and inovative ways. Along with my regular classes at numerous gyms in the Derbyshire area I also subbed for many more. During my time as a fitness instructor in England I worked for clubs such as: David Lloyds, Breadsall Priory (Marriot Hotel & Country Club), Springwood Leisure Center, Queens Leisure, Albion Leisure, Lady in Leisure, and Lingfields. I also ran my own private classes through local community centers and church halls. In 2001 our family moved from Derbyshire in England to California in the United States, so that my husband (Bob) could pursue his career as a Video Game programmer. Consequently, due to visa restrictions, this meant I was unable to work. Until now! We recently received our greencards enabling me to get back on track with my career! So in 2009 I recertified as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer and am ready to get back into the studio, hit play on the stereo and start instructing all over again. With small steps anything is possible! |
